Rye bread

This one (another Bread Bible loaf) turned out pretty great. Hard to tell if it's just because it's a new type of bread, or if it really is a great loaf, but either way, yum. I accidentally forgot to refridgerate the starter, and the fact that the bread wasn't cold made it nicer to knead. I also didn't feel shy about adding flour when, during the second knead, the bread got a bit sticky (rather than just tacky). I'm feeling a bit more comfortably with the process, now that I've made a few of these types of loaves.

Also, I have now cooked my way through an entire little jar of yeast. Yay, yeast! It's one of the best plants ever!
